Not only is today Boxing Day, December 26th is also significant because it marks the end of the USSR in 1991. On this day, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union met and officially dissolved the largest threat to the United States and world-wide democracy. I wasn’t really old enough to appreciate what that meant for the world at the time, but I’m sure glad that today these 21 Russian hotties live in a country that allows them to strut their stuff so freely. Check out Mother Russia’s hottest exports after the jump!

Before I left today, I wanted to share this video with you all. You’re so very welcome. Seriously though, I can’t say that I necessarily blame him. Can you imagine how f*cking painful that must have been? I’m off to go get some rest for SantaCon tomorrow. If anyone wakes me up like this, you now know what’s going to happen to you.

In terms of memes and internet humor, one of the best has gotta be the Meanwhile in Russia joke. The only way to those jokes more web-friendly is by making them into a supercut like these guys did. There’s all sorts of communist fun inside, like comrades drinking at 9 in the morning and jumping off of balconies, some dude literally riding a fire extinguisher, going down the up escalator (head first), and so much more Motherland fun. Check out the best that the people have to offer after the jump!

On September 14th in 1917, Russia was officially proclaimed a republic. The Russian Republic was a short-lived political entity occupying the territory of the former Russian Empire during the 1917 struggle for power that ended with the October Revolution and established the Soviet regime. Without the Soviet Union, we wouldn’t have had that aweso… Click to read more

If all your comrades jumped off a bridge, would you? Apparently, the answer to this is yes if you’re in Soviet Russia.

Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake were in Moscow to promote the Friends with Benefits, during which they had a press conference. Mila was born in Belarus and speaks fluent Russian, so when a reporter asked JT why he was making sh*tty movies instead of sh*itty music, Mila came right at that b*tch with some Communist fire before Justin could even translate the question. Check out our resident Russian translator’s version of the rant after the jump!

The cold war is back! Now that Oprah’s gone on a permanent hiatus, Russia is stepping up it’s talk-show game. This audience is just going bonkers, and I don’t use that word lightly. Get some strobes and black lights and I’m there. “And you get a scar! And you get a scar! And you get a scar!” (via Break)

In early July, 1947, a mysterious object crashed on a ranch 30 miles north of Roswell. The Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a statement claiming to have recovered a crashed “flying disk.” Since then, our celestial cousins and their sweet spacecrafts have been featured in countless films.

Movies and war go together like Britney Spears and Cheetos. Like Jon Gosselin and douchebaggery. When there’s a war going on, chances are someone out there is making propaganda films for it. Here are clips of five of the funniest propaganda films ever made.

Unless you’re overly paranoid, you’re able to get through the day without fear of being killed in some random accident you have no way of knowing is going to happen. You know, like crossing the street without expecting a freakin’ city bus to come along and nearly wipe out with an SUV. But after watching this video, that’s all done with.

If there’s one stereotype that never needs to be put to rest, it’s that Russians drink a hell of a lot of vodka – because it’s true. In fact, they drink so much vodka, that even their stunts require a healthy dosage, just to pull off the trick. You know, unless you think this guy is sober…

This beautifully amazing clip is from Russia’s version of “America’s Got Talent” called, simply, “Talent.” And like all these shows, it starts out with hilariously untalented people with too much confidence making complete asses of themselves. But where the Russian version really excels is with insanely dangerous stunts, like the old “shoot the arrow off the head” number these silly bastards try – and FAIL.
